look like crap.. How did you do it though? Used Clip and black
Alpha matte for the overlays (if that helps any) After this I may want
to redo my entire animix track.

To give an idea of what I want done:

Klinky, I never actually tried adding Alpha effects after using the clip. I find it best to create a split screen with After Effects because like Klinky said...premiere = teh suck, especially its motion settings.

Oh I sounded pretty bitchy there didn't I?

Klinky, with a mixture of Crop and Clipping, you can get it to look quite natural. Just gotta mess with it.

tho what did you mean here ?

As for how the the effect was done.

The one you want to do the 'burst' goes on top track. The other goes on the bottom track.

Then apply the Transform effect. apply 50% on the verticle. I positioned the burst clip on the bottom. The other clip on the top. You could put the clips anywhere, so long as they're opposite each other. You could also squish by horizontal instead.

I applied a Black & White effect to the one that would do the burst(since it wasn't B&W already).

Added the Color Balance effect to the clip that's going to burst. Enabled keyframing on both Color Balance & Transform.

Transform was keyframed like so:

Key1: Height:50% - Width:%100
Key2: Height:75% - Width:%110
Key3: Height:50% - Width:%100

Each keyframe had three frames inbetween.

In the exact same locations. I switched over to the Color Balance effect.

Key1: Blue:100
Key2: Blue:200
Key3: Blue:100

Each has three frames inbetween.

This should do it.

I didn't quite get the effect you posted a picture of. Is that your actual video? How are you getting the "wavey" boarder effect? Swirl(doubtful)? Track-matte?

I'm sorry, just ignore that. Lets keep at "premiere = teh suck"

I THOUGHT you could create a decent split screen with premiere'res Clip and Crop filters with the use of motion settings but no...boy was I wrong. I just tried doing something right now and it's just a pain in the ass to handle. I'll still to After Effects for split screen effects.

the manual?

Yes.

Go to the Adobe web page and check out their tutorials page. It's a lot more intuitive than slogging through the manual. (where you looked already presumably.)
